Warner Remaking "Night of the Living Dorks"

Warner Independent Pictures will remake the German comedy "Night of the Living Dorks," and has set Chris Bishop to write the script.

Described as "Revenge of the Nerds" meets "Shaun of the Dead," the story revolves around three not-so-cool school friends who decide to try an old voodoo ritual. When they later die in a car crash, they find themselves reborn as zombies, and try to take advantage of their new lifestyle.

The project fits snugly in the brand of geek comedies that producer Adam Goldberg, whose writing credits include "Fanboys" and the "Revenge of the Nerds" remake, has been developing.
